Steve Morse and the 1940 U.S. Census

Program: "Getting Ready for the 1940 Census -- Searching Without a Name Index"

When the 1940 U.S. census is released on 2 April 2012, it will not have a name index, and one may not be available for up to six months. So finding people in the census will involve searching by location instead. Bay Area genealogist Steve Morse will focus on searching the census without a name index. The census is organized by Enumeration Districts, or EDs, so the location needs to be converted to an ED before the census can be accessed. Morse's One-Step website contains numerous tools for obtaining EDs. His talk will present various tools and show how each can be used.
